KHAOS (Chaos) was the first of the primordial godsThe primordial gods or "Protogenoi" of Greek mythology were the most basic components of the universe which emerged fully-formed at creation. They included Earth, Air, Sea, Sky, Fresh Water, Underworld, Darkness, Night, Light, Day, Procreation and Time.https://www.theoi.com › greek-mythology › primeval-godsGaiaIn Greek mythology, Gaia (/ˈɡeɪə, ˈɡaɪə/; Ancient Greek: Γαῖα, romanized: Gaîa, a poetical form of Γῆ (Gê), meaning 'land' or 'earth'), also spelled Gaea /ˈdʒiːə/, is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother—sometimes parthenogenic—of all life.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Gaia
Zeus is seen as the king of all gods that made their home on mount Olympus and invited any who wished to share in his power to be his vassals, creating twelve seats in the hall of Olympus one for each god and extra ones for any important offspring they might have.
In Hesiod's Theogony, Nyx is born of Chaos. With Erebus (Darkness), Nyx gives birth to Aether (Brightness) and Hemera (Day).
Chaos. In Hesiod's creation myth, Chaos is the first being to ever exist. Chaos is both seen as a deity and a thing, with some sources seeing chaos as the gap between Heaven and Earth.
Chaos the Beginning of All
And that it was from Chaos that the first three primordial gods sprang forth: the wide-bosomed Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), and Eros (Love), the fairest among the deathless gods.
Zeus was not afraid of almost anything. However, Zeus was afraid of Nyx, the goddess of night. Nyx is older and more powerful than Zeus.
Father of Chaos Theory, Edward Lorenz, Dies.
Chaos, (Greek: “Abyss”) in early Greek cosmology, either the primeval emptiness of the universe before things came into being or the abyss of Tartarus, the underworld. Both concepts occur in the Theogony of Hesiod. First there was Chaos in Hesiod's system, then Gaea and Eros (Earth and Desire).
So while Chaos is infinitely more powerful than Zeus, that is not to diminish the power of the “King of the Gods,” who could be called the most powerful of the corporeal beings in the universe.
Unambiguously "born" from Chaos were Erebus and Nyx. For Hesiod, Chaos, like Tartarus, though personified enough to have borne children, was also a place, far away, underground and "gloomy," beyond which lived the Titans.
Family. Nyx was commonly said to have been a child of Chaos, who begot her and her brother Erebus (“Darkness”) without a consort.
Nyx was an ancient deity usually envisaged as the very substance of the night--a veil of dark mists drawn across the sky to obscure the light of Aither, the shining blue of the heavens. Her opposite number was Hemera (Day) who scattered the mists of night at dawn.
How many children did Nyx have? Nyx had 6 children: Nemesis, Hypnos, Thanatos, Geras, Eris and Charon.
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the twelve Olympians are the major deities of the Greek pantheon, commonly considered to be Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus.
Brahma the Creator
In the beginning, Brahma sprang from the cosmic golden egg and he then created good & evil and light & dark from his own person. He also created the four types: gods, demons, ancestors, and men (the first being Manu).
Two other gods that are somewhat equatable to Zeus are Poseidon and Hades, brothers of Zeus. Poseidon was the god of the seas, and Hades was the god of the underworld. Both of these gods had similar power to Zeus, but of them, Zeus was ultimately the most powerful.
The Primordials were the most powerful gods, most of them stronger than all the Olympians like Zeus and the Titans like Cronos, the Jötnar including Starkaðr and the Norse Gods like Odin. Chaos and Ymir was the most powerful of them all.
Greek Mythology
In Greek cosmology, Chaos (or Khaos) was actually a male god, and not a female. He was the original Void and god embedded in it. He was the god of the disordered state of the Universe.
Edward Lorenz, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the official discoverer of chaos theory.
In Greek mythology, Chaos was the first entity to appear at the dawn of creation, emerging from a dark void. Chaos was followed by the deities Gaea, Tartaros, and Eros. While Gaea went on to become the mother of everything beautiful in the world, Chaos created Erebus and Nyx, who were the gods of darkness and night.
Chaos was a male. He was a chaotic mass of elements. Chaos was said to unite with his daughter, Nox (Nyx in Greek), and they created the Island of Creation. They created Terra (Gaia) and Caelus (Ouranos).
According to the Theogony of Hesiod (117, 12,5, &c.), she was the first being that sprang front Chaos, sand gave birth to Uranus and Pontus.
